1 | Is submission of wives for today? | 1 Pet 3:1 | Hank | 124490 | ||
Emmaus: The passage you quoted is excellent, and thanks for sharing it. Do you happen to know who wrote it? It properly interprets Paul's meaning, I believe, and puts to rest the misguided notion that a wife is obligated under any and all circumstances to be subservient to a husband, even if he is an abuser or a tyrant. The wife is not the only one whom Scripture charges with duties and responsibilities in the marital relationship: "Husbands, love your wives as also Christ loved the church" puts a heavy responsibilty on the husband's shoulders too. ...... I've been married to one woman for a whole bunch of years, nearly 45 of them. It has been and continues to be a blessed relationship, but in marriage as with life, there ain't no free lunch. A happy and enduring marriage is something that has to be worked at. It's like a fence that has to be mended every so often. It's like a garden that has to be nourished, weeded, and cultivated regularly. My wife and I have striven to follow as nearly as we can God's plan for marriage. It works and we have the years to prove it. --Hank | ||||||
